	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2017 answer text <p>Support for Mortgage Interest (SMI) loans will continue to provide robust protection against repossession to all eligible claimants in times of need. The level of support available will be calculated in the same way as under the current benefit system. Claimants who take SMI loans and mortgage lenders will not see any difference in the payments they receive. There is no reason to expect lenders to behave any differently to now and we do not anticipate that this measure will lead to an increase either in threats to repossess or the number of homes that are repossessed.</p><p> </p><p>A low level of interest will be charged on these loans based on the cost of gilts. This rate reflects the cost of Government borrowing and is forecast to be 1.5 per cent when SMI loans are introduced in April 2018. Recovery of SMI loans will not be pursued until the property is sold or transferred, although a recipient may volunteer early repayment at any time that they are able to do so. If the amount of equity available to the Department for Work and Pensions after the sale of the property is less than the amount due to be recovered the balance will be written off. This includes cases where the property has negative equity.</p><p> </p><p>SMI benefit claimants are being contacted in advance of loans being introduced in April 2018.</p><p>Claimants are given information about how the SMI loan will work, about alternatives to the loan and organisations that can offer further information. Claimants are encouraged to consider how they can fulfil their mortgage commitments should they choose not to take up an SMI loan.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 07/12/2017 15:48:07 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
